------- Comment #7 from tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-08-09 00:09 ------- The earlier comments should probably first be investigated by looking in config.log. (Except the original comment which sounds like a missing feature in depcomp -- that should go upstream to Automake.)
Comment #5 sounds like either a place in a Makefile that invokes make rather than $(MAKE); or perhaps a bug in GNU make (if an instance of $(MAKE) invokes make from $PATH rather than the same executable that is running). It is hard to be sure. This could also be caused if $(MAKE) is referenced through a variable; in this case the rule ought to start with a '+'. See (info "(make)MAKE Variable") -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29482
